Donetsk (Ukrainian: ДонецькUkrainian pronunciation: [doˈnɛt͡sʲk], translit.Donets’k; Russian: Доне́цк, translit.Donetsk; former names: Yuzovka, Staline, Stalino, see also: Cities' alternative names), is a large city in eastern Ukraine on the Kalmius river. Administratively, it is a center of Donetsk Oblast, while historically, it is the unofficial capital and largest city of the larger economic and cultural Donets Basin (Donbass) region. Donetsk is a major economic, industrial and scientific center of Ukraine with a high concentration of companies and a skilled workforce.

The city was founded in 1869 by a Welsh businessman, John Hughes, who constructed a steel plant and several coal mines in the region; the town was thus named Yuzovka (Юзовка) in recognition of his role in its founding ("Yuz" being a Russian or Ukrainian approximation of Hughes). During Soviet times, the city's steel industry was expanded. In 1924–1931, the town was renamed in Stalino (Сталино). In 1932 the city became the center of Donetsk region. Today, the city remains the center for Ukraine's coal mining and notable steel industry center.

Battle for Donetsk Airport: Fighting has been dubbed ‘Ukrainian Stalingrad’

The fight to control the ruins of Donetsk International Airport has become the focal point of the bloody confrontation between Ukraine and Russia. When viewed from above, there is little evidence of life in the devastated airport, but on the ground the fighting is more intense than anything witnessed in Europe since the defeat of Nazi Germany. Many have compared the Battle for Donetsk Airport to the Battle of Stalingrad. Like Stalingrad during WWII, Donetsk Airport has acquired a symbolic importance for both sides which is above and beyond its strategic value.

The Battle For Pisky – The Village That’s Key To Controlling Donetsk Airport

Despite the announcement of a new cease-fire around Donetsk, there have been reports of continued fighting around the airport and the nearby village of Pisky. Here, a mix of Ukrainian government forces, volunteer battalions, and Right Sector nationalists have been fighting artillery duels with Russian-backed separatists. RFE/RL visited the village on November 30. Nearly all of the 2,000 inhabitants have fled, but we found some who have remained amid the ruins. (RFE/RL)

There's supposed to be a ceasefire in East Ukraine, though this is being marred by sporadic fighting. Both the Ukrainian army and anti-government forces insist they're sticking to the truce. On Wednesday, shelling hit a residential area and a school - killing at least 11 people. RT's Maria Finoshina is in Donetsk.

The head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Alexander Zakharchenko, said on Friday Kiev troops have used chemical munitions during the attacks on the Donetsk airport.
“After the shells burst, a pungent cloud of gas spread across the old terminal. They are firing banned munitions in breach of the Geneva convention,” Zakharchenko said after visiting the Donetsk airport with a group of journalists.
“There is a pungent smell after a shell burst and sulfur can be smelled, and it is impossible to breathe,” he was quoted by the official Donetsk news agency as saying.
A correspondent working for the agency, who was among the group of media representatives, said he has felt the impact of chemical substances, which made his eyes tear and he had trouble breathing.
